    Time has really flown.
    Has it already been three years?
SIGN    Wataya Family Grave
[00:08] B
    I can still hear Master
    Wataya's voice sometimes.
[00:14] Dada
    Arata, it's getting hot,
    so let's head back.
[00:17] Mom
    W-Wait!
[00:18] Mom
    I just put those sandwiches
    there as an offering.
[00:21] Ara
    I can understand why Grandpa
    and Dad never got along.
[00:24] Dad
    Your grandpa didn't like me
[00:26] ---
    because I wasn't interested in karuta!
[00:28] Mom
    Your quarrels were the reason you took
[00:30] ---
    a job in Tokyo and forced
    Arata to switch schools.
[00:34] Dad
    B-But!
[00:36] Dad
    It was a good experience, right?
[00:37] Dad
    You made friends in Tokyo.
[00:44] Mom
    That's right.
[00:45] Mom
    The Tokyo High School
    Regional is today.
[00:48] Mom
    Are your friends doing well?
[00:50] Mom
    You exchange e-mails, right?
[00:51] Ara
    No, not as often as before.
[00:53] Dad
    You need to send more e-mails
[00:56] ---
    or your friends in Tokyo
    will forget about you.
[00:59] Ara
    Really? I doubt that would happen.
[01:03] (Flashback) Chi
    Cell phones are incredible!
[01:05] (Flashback) Chi
    Like the misty bridge!
[01:12] Ara
    Chihaya...
[01:15] Ara
    In my mind, our misty bridge...
[01:17] Ara
    is not a cell phone, but something else.
[01:21] Ara
    Mom, Dad.
[01:24] Ara
    If I win the National High
    School Championship,
[01:28] Ara
    I want you to grant my request.

    islands
[02:41] Hara
    Man, I'm so excited.
[02:43] Hara
    I hope we don't miss the finals.
[02:46] Hara
    They should have made it
     past the prelim stage, easy.
[02:49] A
    Yes, yes, Doctor.
[02:51] A
    Mashima-kun hasn't sent any
    e-mails about them losing yet.
[02:54] Hara
    Eyelashes...
[02:57] Hara
    I wonder what his problem is.
[03:00] Hara
    Based on his play during practice,
    he should be a Class A player now.
[03:05] Hara
    He's put in so much effort,
    so why can't he win a tournament?
[03:10] A
    Doctor, I ran into
[03:12] ---
    Mashima-kun at the Kyoto
    and Hiroshima tournaments
[03:15] A
    and watched him play.
[03:17] A
    It seems like...
[03:19] A
    ...he just has terrible luck.
[03:22] A
    He can never catch a lucky break
    when he needs it the most.

[03:29] Sumi
    Please, have some!
[03:31] Tai
    Sorry, I try to avoid eating
    anything solid before a match.
[03:36] Pork
    Wait. Mashima, you're
    copying Dr. Harada?
[03:38] Pork
    I'm gonna eat up.
[03:40] Pork
    If we win our next match,
    we're in the Nationals!
[03:43] Pork
    You can have some, boys.
[03:44] All
    Yay!

    Don't think too much.

    If I lose after doing everything
    I can, I can accept that.

    What's important is that I do my best.

    Oh, there they are!
[03:58] Chi
    Dr. Harada!
[03:59] Hara
    Sounds like you're doing well.
[04:01] Hara
    I'm glad to hear that.
[04:02] Tai
    Thanks for coming to cheer us—
[04:09] Hara
    I'm certainly here to cheer you on,
[04:12] Hara
    but that's not the only
    reason I'm here this year.
[04:14] Hara
    It's twice as exciting for me,
    but also quite distressing.
[04:17] Chi
    Huh?
[04:18] Hara
    Oh? Haven't you heard?

[04:32] Pork
    This could be dangerous.
SIGN    Yeah, they were completely off my radar.
[04:36] Pork
    The data from last year won't help.
[04:37] Tsu
    What's the problem?
[04:40] Kana
    Homei's advisor, Tsuboguchi-san,
[04:42] Kana
    was the East Representative for
    the Master match last year,
[04:45] Kana
    and he's the ace of the Shiranami society
    Chihaya-chan and the president are in.
[04:49] Tai
    Did you know, Chihaya?
[04:53] Tai
    I don't understand what
    gets you excited...
[04:58] Tsu
    Everyone's worked hard
    to make it this far!
[05:00] Tsu
    You're playing much better than two
    months of practice can account for!
SIGN    Every Card Counts
[05:03] Take
    Your advice was spot on, Coach!
[05:05] Toda
    After changing my form,
    my swing is much smoother!
[05:09] Nana
    Me, too!
[05:10] Mori
    I followed your instructions
    for sending cards
[05:12] ---
    and my opponent made four mistakes!
[05:14] Sasa
    Lost that one, lost that
    one, lost that one...
[05:17] Sasa
    "I hear," "As this," "Note that,"
    "The storm blasts," "May it"...
[05:20] Take
    Sasa, you need to learn to let go!
[05:20] Sasa
    "My fear is not," "The autumn wind," "Like the"...
[05:25] Tsu
    Mizusawa is strong,
[05:26] Tsu
    but the practice and hard work you've
    put in since spring will pay off.

    Will you take me to Omi Jingu?

    Yes!

    They changed orders every match.
[05:45] Tai
    It's hard to see any patterns.
[05:48] Tsu
    Go easy on us, reigning champions.
[05:55] Tai
    I've known Tsuboguchi-san
    since I was a kid.
[06:00] Tai
    He wants to win.
[06:02] Tai
    What order will they use?
[06:04] Tai
    Who's their strongest player?

    What order do we use to
    guarantee three victories?

    I bought one, too! Take it!

    All you're missing is the luck!

    You have the skill!

    Sorry, I need to come
    up with our order!

    Will the semifinalists please
    turn in their orders?
[06:26] Tai
    Damn, there's no time.

    Mizusawa High School, Komano-kun.

    What did he mean?
[06:46] Tai
    Homei High School, Toda-san.
[06:46] Tai
    Team matches and individual
    matches are different things.
[06:49] ---
    Mizusawa High School, Mashima-kun.
[06:51] Tai
    The side that does better
    as a team will win!

    Homei High School, Sasa-san.
[06:55] N
    Please begin placing your cards.
[06:57] N
    After a fifteen minute memorization
    period, the match will begin.
[07:01] Chi
    Amazing...
[07:03] Chi
    Group C had strong schools like Kase
    High and Eiko University High.
[07:08] Chi
    They must have improved a lot
    with Tsuboguchi-san's teaching.
[07:10] Take
    I knew it!
[07:12] Take
    You're totally my type!
[07:14] Take
    Give me your number after the match!
[07:17] Chi
    Wh-What?!
[07:18] Tsu
    Good!
[07:19] Tsu
    Chihaya-chan isn't used
    to romantic stuff,
[07:22] Tsu
    so we can use that.
[07:23] Tsu
    Still, I know that she'll go back
[07:25] ---
    to being crazy about karuta
    once the match starts,
[07:27] Tsu
    so we're only pretending
    to go after her.
[07:30] Take
    So how about it?
[07:31] Take
    It's a promise.
[07:33] Chi
    What do I do? What do I do?
[07:35] Tai
    That's dirty!
[07:36] Tai
    You're taking advantage
    of Chihaya's personality!
[07:38] Tai
    I know what you're up
    to, Tsuboguchi-san!
[07:42] Tsu
    In reality, we're throwing
    Eyelashes off his game.
[07:44] Tsu
    Chihaya-chan may be Mizusawa's ace,
[07:46] Tsu
    but Eyelashes is their mental leader.
[07:50] Tsu
    You pay too much attention
    to your surroundings.
[07:52] Tsu
    Are you sure that you
    should be glaring at me?
[07:56] Mochi
    Dr. Harada.
[07:57] Hara
    Oh, Mochida-kun.
[07:58] Hara
    It looks like Hokuo is
    winning their games.
[08:01] Mochi
    Yes, thank you.
[08:03] Mochi
    By the way, did you notice, Doctor?
[08:06] [POEM] N
    Naniwa Bay, now the flower
    blooms, but for winter
[08:06] Mochi
    They're switching readers
    every round this year.
[08:09] Mochi
    It must have been difficult
    to find five readers.
[08:11] Hara
    Oh, that's impressive.
[08:13] Mochi
    I know.
[08:13] [POEM] N
    Here comes spring,
     now the flower blooms
[08:25] [POEM] N
    Here comes spring, now
    the flower blooms
[08:42] [POEM] N
    My life means nothing...
[08:43] Hara
    What was that pause about?!
[08:45] Hara
    Mochida-kun, is he an amateur?!
[08:47] Mochi
    No, Tashiro-kun is certified!
[08:49] [POEM] N
    ...to see you again
[08:54] [POEM] N
    I wish I could show the...
[08:55] Hara
    He didn't wait long enough this time!
[08:57] Mochi
    Tashiro-kun's nervous because he was
[08:59] ---
    just certified as a Class B reader!
[09:00] Mochi
    He's not following the correct rhythm!
[09:03] A
    Mizusawa's at a disadvantage!
[09:05] A
    The strange rhythm will affect
    experienced players more!
[09:08] B
    Taichi-kun's luck is so terrible!
[09:11] Kana
    Karuta is similar to dance.
SIGN    Irritated

[09:15] Kana
    You can't dance if the
    music is off beat.
[09:19] Tai
    Oe-san.
[09:21] Tai
    Focus on the first card.
[09:22] Tai
    Make your own rhythm.
[09:26] Kana
    Yes.
[09:27] [POEM] N
    ...with tears of blood
[09:33] [POEM] N
    A mountain village grows...
[09:37] Tai
    Chihaya and Nishida are fine.
[09:39] Tai
    What about Komano?
[09:40] Tai
    Komano, attack the next card!
SIGN    Yeah!
[09:45] Chi
    My opponent's card
    placement is very familiar,
[09:47] ---
    since their coach is Tsuboguchi-san,
[09:49] Chi
    and he's playing the Shiranami
    offensive karuta style.
[09:51] Chi
    Offensive is my style, too...
[09:53] Take
    I'd love a girlfriend
    who's good at karuta.
[09:56] Take
    You're perfe—
[09:58] Chi
    Focus on the opponent's
    bottom right side!
[10:00] [POEM] N
    I feel that my love...
[10:04] Tsu
    Chihaya-chan's gotten better.
[10:07] Tsu
    I never expected to defeat the
    two Class A Mizusawa players.
[10:13] Tsu
    But...
[10:15] Take
    Yes! I took one from
    my opponent's side!
[10:17] Nana
    Same here!
[10:17] Mori
    Good, keep it up!
[10:21] Chi
    He's taking all the
    cards I'm not watching,
[10:24] Chi
    while sending all the cards
    I've been targeting.
[10:26] Tai
    Tsuboguchi-san's taught
    them all the nasty tricks.
[10:30] [POEM] N
    A mountain stream dips...
[10:34] Tai
    Crap, I was too late.
[10:36] Tai
    I need to focus.
[10:39] Sasa
    Come on! Come on! Come on!
[10:45] Tai
    I'm pretty sure I want to ignore that.
[10:48] [POEM] N
    Nobody wishes to see...
[10:49] Sasa
    I knew it would come!
[10:53] Sasa
    Come on! Come on! Come on!
[10:55] Tai
    Some kind of curse?
[10:57] Tai
    What's with her?
[10:59] Tai
    She's the only one acting so strange.
[11:02] Sasa
    I've dreamed about becoming the karuta
    queen since I was a little girl.
[11:06] Sasa
    However, I didn't have the courage
    to enter a karuta society,
[11:09] Sasa
    so I had to practice and work
    on my positioning by myself.
[11:13] Sasa
    Our high school had a karuta club,
[11:15] ---
    but they just sat around chatting.
[11:17] Sasa
    That was when my savior arrived.
[11:22] (Flashback) Tsu
    Everyone, karuta is fun!
[11:24] (Flashback) All
    Huh?
[11:26] (Flashback) Tsu
    I guess it's not karuta that's fun...
[11:31] (Flashback) Tsu
    It's the act of trying
    your hardest that's fun!
[11:35] Sasa
    I was shocked.
[11:38] Sasa
    I wasn't the only one
    who wanted to try hard.
[11:44] Sasa
    I was shocked...
[11:48] [POEM] N
    The sky may hold...
[11:49] Sasa
    It came!
[11:50] Tai
    She guessed two cards in a row?!
[11:52] B
    He's trying to attack, but
    he's not getting any chances!
[11:54] A
    Horrible luck!
[11:56] [POEM] N
    So spring ends...
[11:56] Sasa
    That's it!
[12:01] Hara
    Eyelashes doesn't believe
    that he just needs luck.
[12:05] Hara
    He continues to believe
    that he lacks the skill.
[12:10] Tai
    Why?
[12:12] Tai
    She can guess cards this
    well after two months
[12:14] ---
    of instruction from Tsuboguchi-san?
[12:17] Tai
    I've been working my ass off for years.
[12:19] Hara
    But when he tells himself that
    it's skill that he lacks...
[12:26] Tai
    Her sense is better than mine?
[12:29] Hara
    he falls victim
[12:31] Hara
    to the belief that he
    doesn't have the talent.
[12:40] Tai
    Is it because of the reader's rhythm?
[12:42] Tai
    We aren't leading the way
    we were in the prelims.
[12:45] Tai
    What about Nishida?
[12:46] Tai
    He's up by ten cards?
[12:48] Tai
    Impressive.
[12:49] (Flashback) Retro
    Porky.
[12:50] (Flashback) Retro
    You're too nice.
[12:52] (Flashback) Retro
    Why let Mashima, who's stuck
    in Class B even though
[12:55] (Flashback) Retro
    he tops you all in skill, be your president?
[12:58] Tai
    Stuck in Class B...
[13:03] Tai
    Which card is she aiming for?
[13:05] Tai
    Check the card she just sent.
[13:07] Tai
    Talent...
[13:09] Tai
    She's watching "When the,"
[13:10] Tai
    but being careful since the dead card
    "When I" hasn't been read yet.
[13:13] Tai
    Talent...
[13:14] Tai
    "When winds blow" and "When winds
    send" are still out there.
[13:16] Tai
    Talent...
[13:19] Tai
    This won't work!
[13:21] Tai
    Focus!
[13:23] Tai
    Refresh my memory! Check everything!
[13:26] A
    Huh?
[13:28] A
    The air conditioner above
    Taichi-kun isn't working.
[13:30] B
    Why now?! Why that one?!
[13:33] A
    Horrible luck!
[13:34] Tai
    It's so hot... I need a towel...
[13:41] Tai
    My memorization... My hard work...
[13:43] [POEM] N
    The emotions experienced...
[13:43] Sasa
    There it is!
[13:46] Tai
    Aren't doing anything for me!
[13:49] Hara
    This is a good match.
[13:51] Hara
    Eyelashes is up against
    a strong opponent.
[13:53] Tsu
    Well, she's hooked on your teachings.
[13:58] Tsu
    "Play like you can guess
    what card's coming next."
[14:01] Tsu
    "If you end up taking a different card,
[14:02] ---
    talk like it was the
    one you were expecting."
[14:07] [POEM] N
    The sound of birds crossing...
[14:09] Sasa
    I don't care about that card.
[14:11] Tsu
    It's a simple strategy,
    but it's not easy to pull off.
[14:14] Tsu
    If she can convince him that the flow
[14:16] Tsu
    is on her side, and not on his,
[14:19] ---
    she might be able to overwhelm him while
    he's worried about leading the team.
[14:24] Hara
    You're pretty passionate about this,
[14:26] Hara
    considering that you're the biggest
    Class A slacker in our society.
[14:32] Tsu
    I had to ignore my own problems...
[14:35] Tsu
    It's the act of trying
    your hardest that's fun!
[14:38] Tsu
    ...to inspire them.
[14:41] Tsu
    I didn't try my hardest,
[14:44] Tsu
    so I was left with regrets.
[14:53] Tsu
    Every match is close, and it's so hot...
[14:57] Sumi
    What do I have to do to become
    Mashima-senpai's girlfriend?
[15:00] Tsu
    Huh?! What are you talking about?!
[15:03] Sumi
    There's nothing else for me to
    do right now besides think.
SIGN    She's
    really
    crazy
    about
    love...
[15:07] Sumi
    After watching him for two
    months, it's become very clear.
[15:10] Sumi
    Mashima-senpai is in
    love with Ayase-senpai.
[15:14] Sumi
    Why?
[15:15] Sumi
    Ayase-senpai doesn't pay any
    attention to Mashima-senpai.
[15:21] A
    Yes, that's right.
[15:22] A
    The air conditioner in the very back.
[15:23] B
    Can I start after this match is over?
[15:32] Miya
    It's a sauna!
[15:33] Miya
    Plus, it's only affecting my kids!
[15:35] Tai
    This sweat feels gross...
[15:38] Tai
    I don't want to wipe it off
    with a loaner kimono,
[15:41] Tai
    but I don't have a towel...
[15:42] [POEM] N
    As I wait for...
[15:44] Sasa
    Yes, got it!
[15:45] Sasa
    Go on the attack!
[15:46] All
    Yes!
[15:52] Tai
    E-Excuse me!
[15:54] Tai
    Can I have a towel?
[16:23] Tai
    Thank you very much.
[16:26] Tai
    I always try to play it cool.
[16:29] Tai
    I feel embarrassed about losing,
[16:31] Tai
    so I run off to tournaments
    far away in secret.
[16:36] Tai
    I know that I'm not alone...
[16:40] Tai
    But...
[16:44] Tai
    I want to be strong, even when I'm alone.
[16:47] [POEM] N
    my body burns like the seaweed
    drying on the shores of Matsuho
[16:56] [POEM] N
    The storm will soon carry...
[17:01] Tai
    Yes, that's one card!
[17:03] Tsu
    He's keeping his eyes on
    the cards while speaking.
[17:07] Tsu
    He's not turning to look
    at his teammates.
[17:09] Tsu
    That's right, Eyelashes.
[17:12] Tsu
    A team match is an individual match.
[17:14] Tsu
    You must trust in your teammates
    while playing by yourself.
[17:21] Tsu
    Huh? Where are you going?
[17:23] Sumi
    To watch the other match.
[17:25] Sumi
    I can scout out our
    opponent in the finals.
[17:30] Sumi
    "There's nothing else to do
    right now besides think"?
[17:32] Sumi
    There has to be something else!
[17:36] Sumi
    I'm a member of this team!
[17:39] Sumi
    A member of the Mizusawa karuta club!
[17:43] [POEM] N
    No matter where I stand
    on the shores of Tago,
[17:51] Rieko
    He caught up!
[17:57] [POEM] N
    I can look up and see the
    snowy cap of Mt. Fuji
[18:06] [POEM] N
    When winds blow oak leaves...
[18:08] [POEM] N
    None are left...
[18:12] [POEM] N
    I feel as though...
[18:16] [POEM] N
    Look for the sound...
[18:19] [POEM] N
    The hazy early morning
    light comes not from...
[18:23] Tsu
    He's built a lead in no time.
[18:26] Tsu
    She was able to make her sense
    work in the first half,
[18:29] Tsu
    but in the second half...
[18:30] Sasa
    I'm moving my cards.
[18:33] Sasa
    I'll bring them together
    and hit them all together.
[18:36] [POEM] N
    Waves creep closer...
[18:38] [POEM] N
    Feel sorrow wash over me...
[18:39] Sasa
    I'm not giving up yet!
[18:41] Sasa
    I want to win!
[18:43] Miya
    1 to 4.
[18:45] B
    He just needs one more card, but the cards
    have all been on his opponent's side!
[18:48] A
    His luck is still horrible!
[18:52] Tai
    "My life," "I wish," "A mountain
    village," "May it," "The sky is,"
[18:54] Tai

    "The sky may," "So spring ends,"
[18:58] Tai
    "While autumn," "May the
    time we," "Said bed,"
[19:00] Tai
    "The emotions," "Swift," "Since the,"
    "The sound of birds," "As this," "As the years,"
[19:02] Tai
    "May the time spent," "The night,"
    "While it may," "Rain," "My only thought as I,"
[19:04] Tai
    "After many," "Would the,"
    "As my," "The storm will"...
[19:06] [POEM] N
    though autumn is not mine alone
[19:11] Tai
    "No matter," "When winds blow,"
    "None are," "I feel as,"
[19:12] Tai
    "Look," "The hazy early morning light,"
    "Waves," "Feel sorrow"...
[19:18] [POEM] N
    The...
[19:22] [POEM] N
    ...sight of Mount Arima...
[19:31] Tai
    Thank you very much.
[19:33] Sasa
    Thank you very much...
[19:44] Tai
    Did everyone win?
[19:46] Tai
    What's the score?
[19:49] Tai
    Man...
[19:50] Tai
    I'm a failure as the president
    if I don't know that.
[19:54] All
    Thank you very much.
[19:57] Tsu
    Hey, Sasa.
[19:59] Sasa
    I-I'm sorry, Coach!
[20:01] Sasa
    My dedication wasn't strong enough!
[20:05] Tsu
    Eyelashes, how many cards were left?
[20:08] Tai
    95 cards were read,
[20:10] Tai
    so there were only 5 cards left.
[20:12] Tai
    None of them were dead cards.
SIGN    What?! He knew that?!
SIGN    What?! He knew that?!
[20:15] Tsu
    The last card had become
    a first-syllable card,
[20:18] ---
    but you didn't move fast enough,
[20:21] Tsu
    because you thought there might
    be other The cards left.
[20:24] Tsu
    You lost your lead in the second
    half because your opponent
[20:26] ---
    was more aware of how
    many cards were left.
[20:28] Tsu
    Isn't it creepy when someone
    can memorize cards like that?
[20:31] Tsu
    He practices like crazy every day,
[20:34] Tsu
    but I'm inspired by the
    effort he puts in.
[20:39] Tai
    Thank you very much, everyone.
[20:41] Tai
    I'll wash these towels
    before returning them.
[20:43] Rieko
    It's okay, Taichi-kun!
[20:45] Rieko
    It's because the air
    conditioning wasn't working!
[20:46] A
    You can have all the towels you need.
[20:48] B
    Good luck in your next match.
[20:51] All
    Does it really matter if he's good
    at karuta when he's so popular?
[20:55] Tai
    Thank you too, Hanano-san.
[20:57] Sumi
    Oh, it was nothing.
[21:00] Sumi
    I have to be on my guard!
[21:02] Sumi
    Ayase-senpai is watching
    Mashima-senpai!
[21:07] Sumi
    Though, I can't be entirely sure.
SIGN    Mizusawa High Homei High Hokuo Academy Shoyo High

    Our next match is against the
    strongest school in Tokyo, Hokuo.
[21:22] Chi
    They'll give us their best shot!

    We have to play to win!
